This quilt by Dori Galton of Hartland, Vt., is a great example of how there's really nothing simple about the simple square. Dori chose fabrics in a narrow range from dark to light in reds and blues, arranging them so that the lightest ones became the centers of attention. From Wiley Publishing's 2007 book TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY QUILTING by Sonja Hakala.

Barbara Fussy cut the six panels showing children at play on the front of this quilt from the novelty fabric that also backs it. The lower border on the front—the light blue with a string of red flowers—was also cut from the back fabric. From Wiley Publishing's 2007 book TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY QUILTING by Sonja Hakala.

In October 2004, Barbara Vallone of Racine, Wisc., and two friends, Mary Bielefeldt and Pat Wolff, received donations of assorted scraps, odd squares and yards of fabric and decided to hold a quilt workshop for charity. Barbara set the pinwheels in this quilt off-center to enhance the design. From Wiley Publishing's 2007 book TEACH YOURSELF VISUALLY QUILTING by Sonja Hakala.
